Emily joined me again this year. I’m convinced it’s her favorite event too. I wish I had a picture of her outfit. Unlike Coastal Fashion Week when I styled her, she dressed herself this time. She did a bang-up job. I’m proud of my little padawan.

This is the closest I have to a picture of Em’s outfit. We do what we must. She’s on a mission to bring berets back into style:

This scarf has a story. A woman picked up this scarf from Italy. It’s the genuine article. I saw it behind the register and had to have it. I have an affinity for orange and pink as a color combination.

Carlisha Hartzog emceed the event, giving descriptions of each outfit and introducing each woman’s role in the event. Some are survivors. Some are undergoing chemotherapy. Some are health care professionals. Some are family members honoring their loved ones.
